Free Trade.

The reduction Of int"raal revenue and
the taking oil Of re>rnnc siani, from
Propriety Medicines, no doubt has bene-
fitted the consumers, as well as relieving
the burden of home manufacture.
Especially is this the case with GREEN'S
4ugast FIOners and BoSchee'S German
Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents
per dozen, has been added to increase
the size of the bottles containing these
remedies, thereby giving one-fifth more
medicine in the IS cent size.
The august Florers for Dyspepsia and
and Liver Complaint: and the German
Syrup for Coughs and Lung troubles,
have perhaps, the largest sale of any
medicines in the world. The advantage
of increased size of the bottles will be
greatly appreciated by the sick and afiict-
ed, in every town and village in civilized
countries. Sample bottles for 10 cents
remain the same size.

Worthy of Special Attention.

We publish in another column to
day the programme Of the coming
meeting Of the sDairymen, Fruit
Growers and Lumbermen's Cnnven
linn which meets in jackson Feb.
10th, and we invite the special st
tenlinn Of all our readers thereto.
1t would he all the better if our PEG
pie would call a public meeting and
appoint representatives to gn up to
Jackson and show to these visitors
what great inducements our section
offers in the way Of fruit CROWN
situated as we are in the great fruit
belt; tell them Of our climate, water,
and the ada ptability Of our soil for
grasses, grain, etc. Show them that
we have the land and the natural
advantages, and only need capital
and the infusion of new ideas, new
systems and Industrious immigrants
to aid us in making our land bios
som as the rose. Also tell them
frankly of the few drawbacks.
AS one of the means to attract
the attention of the excursionists
from the West, we contemplate is
suing q special edition Of THE
LEADER on Feb. 18th, devoted al
most entirely to this county, which
We will takes care TO see well dis
tributed among the delegates and
visitors at the convention. In il
will be presented the inducements
this section offers TO enterprising
and Industrious immigrants, and
we have the faith to believe that in
this way much future good to our
section may be accomplished. AS Il
large number of these,papers will be
circulated it will he a fine oppor
tunity for those who have lands tC
sell to advertise them, giving mum
Der of acres, terms and proximity &c

tisements will be very reasonable.

BOGUE CHlTTO NOTES.

Mrs. Terrill, of Mt. Carmel, visited her
sister, Mrs. Easterling, last week.
At an early day Bosue Chitto will
have water works, street cars, eectI ic
lights, and 4 newspaper!
DIR. Mitchell, of Brookhaven, was down
last week on a professional trip. His
work in this vicinity has proved very
satisfactory.
Prof Maxey, we are sorry to learn, is
quite sick with fever at Mrs. Ards
boarding house. We hope he may soon
be restored to health again.
If the Doctors purses here are to be
Judged by the sickness. they are surely
in any but q plethoric condition. This
had in years.
Mrs C. A. Bonds left Sunday night for
Vickshnrg, were she goes to visit her son,
that place. We hope her stay may be
short and sweet, AZ our social circle here
is not complete without her.
Mr.. Marcus Robertson, our lively opera
tor visited New Orleans last week and
reported "lOvely time" We suppose
that he enjoyed his trip over across the
lake; however, we won't "tell tales
ont of school" During his absence his
place was filled by Mr. Marks, of Osyka,
who made quite 'mark" with some of
ouryoung ladies.
The sociablcs given at the residences
of Mrs. Easterling and Mrs. Brister last
week were enjoyed to the fullest
of our capacity. Some of the games
were "slde-splitting' and veritable Mes
tor could not have failed to have been
amused. The refreshments, also, were
in harmony with the crowd. Yours.

The Blair Bill.

We are glad to note from late
Washington dispatches that the
Blair Educational bill is likely To
come To an early vote in the House,
and earnestly hope it will be sup
ported by the entire Mississippi
delegation. This bill has been op
posel by some Mississippi editors
and politicians who do not under
stand its provisions, or who have
hoped to make capital by denounc
ing it because its author is a North
ern man and a Republican, but the
great majority of the Southern peo-
pie, irrespective Of party, favor it,
The following is the position of the
Mississippi Democracy on the sub
ject, expressed by the last State
Convention:
Recognizing the great Importance
of developing in every possible way
the educational interests of our peo-
pie, and realizing the extremely on
erous burden OF furnishing equal
public school facilities to the white
and colored youth of our State in
our present impoverished condition,
ReSolred, That we request our
Senators and Representatives in
Congress to vote for and use all le-
Ultimate means in their power to Sc
cure the passage of what is known
as the Blair Educa,ionaT Bill, or
some measure with like object"

We are told that the Hon" V. b.
Watts has already declared his in
tention of again becoming candi
date for the Legislature from this
county. We wonder if he has so
soon forgotten his disreputable con
nection with the whisky canvass in
this county last Summer, and if so
if be thinks the people have If he
has, we advise him to think
twice before he acts. The peo-
pie of Lincoln county have an es-
tablished reputation for conserv-
atism and tolerance and it is
deserved, but it is not wise to tempt
them too far. There is point be-
yond which forbearance ceases to he
a virtue, and unwarranted license
and brazen effrontery will meet their
just reward.

A newspaper, which has been
studying the labor question careful
~, finds that there were no less
than $500 strikes in the various in
dustres and fields Of labor in this
country during the past year, an
unusually large number and evidence
of the general industrial depres-
sion prevailing. The employees won
in some 1000 of these strikes, either
gaining all or part of their de-
mands, and failed in the remaining

Capt. Coleman, schooner Weymouth,
plying between Atlantic City and N. Y,
had been troubled with cough so that
he was unable to sleep, and was induced
to try DR.. Kings New Discovery for Con-
sumption. 1t not only gave him instant
relief, but allayed the same extreme sore
ness i'll his breast. His children were
similarly affected and single dose had
the same happy effect. DR.. Kings New

The last Signal Copiahan contains
the valedictory of Dir. Luther Sexton
who has been one Of its editors for
the past year. The Doctor is n
graceful, strong and dignified writer,
always duly courteous to those with
whom he may differ, and we regret
to lose him from the press. Bro.
w. L. Mitchell remains in full charge
and promises to keep the paper up
to it's former excellent standard.

The passage of the House bill to
create a Department of Agriculture
and La Dor is a move in the right
direction. Agriculture is the most
important interest, 'the one, in fact
on which all others are based, yet
it has been without proper represen-
tation in the executive branch of the
Government. And Labor is crying
out for justice, but in many cases in
the North, it cries out in vain. If
these two great interests can be prop
erlv watched aud nurturcd in the
Cabinet, it will be vast benefit to
the whole country.

prayed for national railroad super

1t is the duty of all public sp'r
tied citizens to aid the tax collect
or by looking alter the poll tax
payers. This is school money,
and no one should be allowed to
bold back while others are pay
ing. Under the new law the bust
ness of collecting delinquent tax
es continues throughout the year.
1t certainly is easier and wiser to
pay while the tax is one dollar,
than after it has become more than
double. Farmers, merchants, teach

delinquents and prevent the unwel-
come visits of the TAX cOllectOrs.-

The Next Grand jury.
Editor Leader.

Editor Leader:
Looking over the published list of our
next Grand Jury l am impressed with
the idea that unless there be change
wrought by the act Of the Judge, JUS
tice will be slaughtered III her own tenn
pie.
One man whose name appears in the
said list is bondSman for saloon keeper
IN this county, who it is notorious has
on sundry occasions and in divers ways
violatdd the expressed provisions OF his
bond, and il will be the duty of the Grand
Jury to investige the vi0latoTs and indict
the violator. The testimony as to the
salounist's guilt which may he secured
from the bondSman i'll question and 9th
ers is abundant. The presumption in
the neighborhood of this saloon is that
the bondsman was Hailed on the jury to
look after his own and the saloon mans
interest in the Grand Jury room. 1t is
commonly believed from indications, that
there is a gambling hell attached to said
dOyrery where the unwary are taken
| in and flceced of their hard earnings
and that said bondSnan knows all about
what transpircs therin, if indeed he Is
not personally interested in the revenues
of the concern.
| The law-abiding citizens of Bogue
| ChittO and vicinity sincerely nope Judge
| Chrislnan will relieve this bondsman from
service on the grand jury, in order that
the law may be indicated. 1t is believed
under the smoothest set of circumstances
! it is not proper for Board of Supervisors
to put Il saloon Keepers bondsmam on a
| grand jury, when it is remembered that
! the major part of the work OF such grand
| juries is the investigation OF the violations
of law by liquor dealers.
The confidence of the people of this
| judicial district in Judge Chrisman is as
full as the inspiration of Holy writ, and it
is justly expected of him that he unclog
the wheels OF Justice by filling the atore-
said bondsman's place with Il citizen who
is above suspicion. An outraged comma
nifty patiently waits for this stroke OF
justice. VIGILANCE.
